Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 639 The Relationships Between The Nine Clans

Yun Lintian touched his chin, pondering over the matter. First, he had to ensure that he could not enter the so-called fog. Secondly, if he genuinely could not enter it, he had to find a way to get the token. Naturally, going to the wedding was out of the question… How to do it?

Huoyun Yurou seemed to see through his thought. She walked to the altar and gently tapped on it. A rectangle red-colored fragment slowly floated out of the altar and landed on her hand. This fragment exuded an aura similar to Little Flame's token.

She turned around and walked to Yun Lintian before handing it to him. "Try to inject your profound energy into it."

Yun Lintian subconsciously picked the fragment from Huoyun Yurou's hand and looked at it in doubt. After checking it for a while and didn't find anything special, he decided to inject a portion of profound energy into it.

Instantaneously, the fragment glowed brightly and released a powerful heat that penetrated into Yun Lintian's body. His bones began to crack and changed their shapes. His entire body was constantly shrinking until he had the same height as Huoyun Yurou.

"W-what is this?" Yun Lintian was terrified. He wouldn't be like this forever, right?

"This is our secret. The altar's fragment can disguise the user as our Fire Cloud Rat's bloodline. The effect will last as long as your profound energy is there. It might look incredible for you, but it's totally useless for us." Huoyun Yurou explained.

Linlin jumped out of Yun Lintian's shoulder and looked at him carefully. Yun Lintian's current appearance was no different from the Fire Cloud Rat's clansmen. Anyone who looked at him would never think he was human.

Linlin laughed gently as she felt the current Yun Lintian was too cute. "Big Brother Yun, you've become shorter now. Hehe."

Yun Lintian's lips twitched slightly. He looked at Huoyun Yurou and asked. "Can this really deceive others?"

Huoyun Yurou smiled faintly. "Rest assured. Even those old monsters that are stronger than me won't be able to detect it with their Spiritual Sense."

Yun Lintian nodded his head slightly, but he still had some doubts in his heart. He looked at the clothes that had become oversized and said in his mind. "Qingrou, I'll trouble you to prepare me a new robe."

Yun Qingrou, who was busying gathering items, suddenly heard Yun Lintian and became confused for a moment. She returned to the villa and saw Yun Lintian's current appearance through the projection. A smile appeared on her face as she said. "You look just like when you were young. If Qianxue were here, she would definitely go insane. Hehe."

A trace of worry appeared on Yun Lintian's face when he heard this. He suddenly thought of Yun Qianxue and wondered how she was right now.

Yun Qingrou realized that she shouldn't have mentioned Yun Qianxue's name. She quickly changed the topic. "I've prepared everything now. Are you going to take them away now?"

Yun Lintian shook his head. "The situation has changed now. This place is no longer arid like before. We can grow any crop here normally now."

"I see. I will prepare more. As for your robe, wait for a moment." Yun Qingrou said and went out of the villa.

"Hongyue, what kind of this fragment thing?" Yun Lintian asked.

Hongyue, who was lazily sipping an orange juice, answered. "If I'm not mistaken, that altar is a divine artifact commonly known as the Cloud Concealing Altar. It is usually used to conceal a treasure. A piece of its fragment can be used in this way, but it can be used once. The second time will not have this effect."

"I see." Yun Lintian looked at Huoyun Yurou and asked. "Senior, are you sure you want to participate in this? With the current situation, I think it's not a wise idea to go out."

Huoyun Yurou shook her head. "It's true, as you said, but it's necessary for me to go."

"Why?" Yun Lintian frowned slightly.

"I've already accepted the invitation. If I don't go, they will think that our Fire Cloud Rat Clan has no prestige anymore. Furthermore, this is not about our clan's matter alone. A year ago, the Heavenly Fox Clan's former matriarch, a good friend of mine, had contacted me and asked for help." Huoyun Yurou explained.

Seeing Yun Lintian's puzzled expression, she said further. "In the past, we, the Fire Cloud Rat Clan, Heavenly Fox Clan, Crimson Ox Clan, Deep Sea Naga Clan, and Golden Python Clan, could be considered allies. We always attacked and retreated together."

"It was until four thousand years ago when the disaster came. Our clan heads had sacrificed their lives in order to protect the Western Continent. Since then, our clans' strength gradually declined and become what we are now."

Huoyun Yurou paused for a moment and asked. "From the direction you came, I believe you should have encountered the Crimson Ox Clan and understand their situation by now."

Yun Lintian recalled Guchang's words and discovered the strangeness of this matter. The ones who lost their lives during the war back then solely came from these five clans. Meanwhile, the heads of the Sky Qilin Clan, Great Roc Clan, Purple-Winged Tiger Clan, and Netherworld Wolf Clan were totally fine. Wasn't this obvious?

Huoyun Yurou saw through Yun Lintian's thoughts at a glance. She said calmly. "Strange, isn't it? No doubt about it. It's their conspiracy. Among the nine clans, the Sky Qilin Clan always acted as the leader, and because of our alliance, they felt threatened and tried to weaken us as much as possible."

A cold killing intent flashed through Huoyun Yurou's eyes as she spoke further. "My husband, the clan head back then, as well as my grandparents, had also fallen into their conspiracy and lost their lives."

Silence blanketed the hall. Yun Lintian could see the expression of everyone was filled with deep hatred. His brows sank and fell into deep thought. This matter was getting more and more complicated now. He could already foresee a fierce battle in the incoming days.
